A tree fell on an apartment building in Pitcairn on March 12, 2019, displacing 8 people who live there.

Eight people escaped without injury after a tree fell early Tuesday morning onto a Pitcairn apartment building.

A female tenant said she was trapped temporarily in her bed when the tree fell but was able to get out without assistance, WPXI reported.
